Purchased a Seagate .. SATA 7200 rpm 160 GB HDD...
It was working fine...
But when i connected another 80 GB HDD with the system.. the System was unable to boot..
when i removed my HDD the system started fine...
Now when i connected my HDD to any system that system wont boot...
Wat can b the problem?

This is because your hard disk is not consider as first primary hard disk.In BIOS setting..change the primary hard disk .

^^ But he said system isnt even starting...Primary or secondry...no matter..
System isn't starting.
Most probably the HDD is consuming more power then his PSU can provide.
Drive is faulty I think, get it replaced.

One more thing is that when i press the power button, the processor fan starts and then turns off... means gives three four rotations only...
then nothing happens...
I hav given the HDD to the vendor for replacement..
